PREFACE. 


The  present  List  contains  all  the  named  forms  of  North  Ameri- 
can mammals  on  land  or  in  the  adjacent  seas  described  up  to  this 
date,  that,  under  the  most  lenient  treatment,  are  entitled  to  any  con- 
sideration. The  various  forms  that  were  included  in  the  Appendix 
to  the  "Synopsis  of  North  American  Mammals"  have  been  placed  in 
their  proper  positions. 

Five  species  that  were  omitted  from  that  work,  and  such  forms 
as  have  been  named  since  it  passed  through  the  press,  have  been 
added  with  their  descriptions,  and  will  be  found  under  their  respec- 
tive genera. 

A  few  changes  in  genera  and  species,  affected  by  the  rule  of 
priority,  have  been  made,  and  typographical  errors  in  names,  which, 
in  spite  of  every  care  have  appeared  in  the  "Synopsis,"  have  been 
corrected,  and  the  spelling  in  this  List  should  be  adopted  whenever 
differing  from  that  in  the  book  just  mentioned.  This  publication, 
therefore,  may  serve  as  a  Check  List  of  our  Mammals,  as  a  guide  for 
labeling  specimens,  and  as  a  Supplement  to  the  "  Synopsis,"  to  be 
bound  with  it,  and  bringing  it  to  date. 

The  pagination  given  is  that  of  the  "  Synopsis." 

Especial  thanks  are  due  to  Dr.  F.  W.  True  of  the  U.  S.  Nat. 
Museum,  Washington,  for  photographs  of  the  skulls  of  Kogia  brevi- 
ceps  and  Berardius  bairdi  in  the  National  collection,  from  which  the 
plates  accompanying  this  publication  were  taken.

Mr.  Witmer  Stone  has  called  my  attention  to  the  fact  that  this  generic  term' was  published 
by  Blumenbach  in  the  Handbuch  der  Naturgeschichte,  GOttingen,  in  1799,  p.  73,  four  years  pre- 
vious to  the  edition  quoted  by  Dr.  Palmer,  thus  taking  precedence  by  many  years  over  any  generic 
term  proposed  for  the  nine-banded  Armadillo.  Novemcinctus  is  the  only  species  included  in 
Tatu,  and  therefore  represents  the  genus.

"Teeth  of  the  upper  jaw  absent,  or  reduced  to  a  rudimentary 
pair  in  front;  in  the  lower  jaw  9  to  12  on  each  side,  rather  long, 
slender,  pointed  and  curved,  with  a  coating  of  enamel.  Upper  sur- 
face of  cranium  concave,  with  thick,  raised  posterior  and  lateral  mar- 
gins, massive  and  rounded  at  their  anterior  terminations  above  the 
orbits.  Upper  edge  of  the  methesmoid  forming  a  prominent  sinuous 
ridge,  constituting  a  kind  of  longitudinal  septum  to  the  base  of  the 
great  supra-cranial  cavity.  Rostrum  not  longer  than  the  cranial  por- 
tion of  the  skull,  broad  at  the  base,  and  rapidly  tapering  to  the  apex. 
Vertebrae:  C.  7,  D.  13  or  14,  L.  and  C.  30;  total,  50  or  51.  All  the 
cervical  vertebrae  united  by  their  bodies  and  arches."  (Flower.)

Genl.  Char.  Blainville's  description  of  a  skull  of  this  species  in 
the  Paris  Museum,  from  an  individual  taken  at  the  Cape  of  Good 
Hope,  translated  is  as  follows:  "  Skull  extremely  wide  and  greatly 
elevated,  having  the  frontal  crests  very  high  and  consequently  the 
nasal  cavities  very  deep,  something  like  those  of  the  Cachelots,  and 
terminate  abruptly  by  the  very  short  and  pointed  maxillaries,  there- 
fore the  total  length  is  barely  an  inch  greater  than  the  occipital  length. 
The  lower  jaw  has  necessarily  two  branches  approaching  each  other 
evenly,  like  a  bellows,  and  have  a  considerable  symphysis,  with  a 
narrow  extremity,  but  rounded  termination.  It  is  nearly  certain  that 
there  are  no  teeth  in  the  upper  jaw,  but  the  lower  has  14  or  15  on 
each  side,  all  of  which  are  not  in  place,  5  only  on  the  left  side  and 
4  on  the  right  remain  still  in  their  alveoli;  some  have  been  re- 
placed by  others;  they  are  narrow,  slender,  conical,  pointed,  slightly 
curved  interiorly,  and  6  to  8  lines  in  length.  Length  of  lower  jaw, 
13  inches;  distance  between  condyles,  12  inches.  Length  of  skull, 
14^  inches.  Another  peculiarity  of  the  skull  is  the  inequality  of  the 
nasal  cavities,  the  right  being  in  nearly  a  rudimentary  condition,  and 
some  twenty  times  smaller  than  the  other."

Type  locality.     Bering  Island. 

Genl.  Char.  "The  tip  of  the  beak  is  obtuse,  with  a  vertical 
furrow  in  the  middle,  the  lower  jaw  with  the  two  terminal  teeth  pro- 
truding considerably  beyond  the  upper  one.  From  about  the  middle 
of  the  beak  towards  the  tip,  the  mesethmoidal,  ossified  in  its  whole 
length,  arises,  like  a  rounded  staff,  between  and  above  the  premax- 
illaries,  following  these  to  the  tip  and  being  totally  fused  together 
with  them.  The  nasal  groove  is  very  unsymmetrical,  owing  to  a 
very  prominent  asymmetry  of  the  premaxillaries  and  the  nasals,  so 
that  the  direction  of  the  oblique  nares  forms  an  angle  of  not  less  than 
20  degrees  with  the  vertical  plane  through  the  longitudinal  axis  of  the 
skull.  The  right  os  nasale  and  the  premaxilla  of  the  same  side  are 
by  far  the  larger  ones,  and  form  the  principal  part  of  the  roof  above 
the  nares,  the  nasal  not  reaching,  however,  so  far  forward  as  the  pre- 
maxilla. The  ante-nasal  groove  is  large,  and  in  the  anterior  half 
partly  vaulted  over  by  the  edges  of  the  premaxillaries,  which  are 
somewhat  bent  inwards.  The  zygomatic  process  of  the  squamosals 
touches  the  orbital  of  the  frontals  without  coalescing  however.  The 
jugale  is  not  narrower  in  the  fore  part,  which,  consequently,  is  not 
dilated  and  does  not  reach  the  posterior  maxillary  notch.  This  is 
not  particularly  deep,  and  the  anterior  one  is  still  more  shallow.  The 
visible  part  of  the  vomer  is  long  and  narrow,  commencing  124  mm. 
from  the  tip  of  the  beak.  The  supraoccipital  is  rather  inclined  for- 
wards, forming  an  angle  of  about  40  degrees,  with  a  line  parallel  to 
the  vertical  axis  of  the  skull." 

Measurements.  "  Length  of  the  skull  in  straight  line,  983;  great- 
est breadth,  600;  length  of  beak  from  anterior  maxillary  notch  to  tip, 
485;  length  of  right  nasal,  135;  of  left  nasal,  128;  length  of  lower 
jaw,  845;  length  of  symphysis,  180;  longitudinal  diameter  of  tooth 
at  base,  26;  height  of  tooth,  36."  (Stejneger,  1.  c.)

Berardius.     Duvernoy,  Ann.  Scien.  Nat.  Zool.,  xv,  1851,  p.  41. 

Frontal  portion'of  skull  elevated;  rostrum,  subcylindrical,  slen- 
der, long  and  narrow;  maxillaries  slightly  swollen  and  expanded  at 
upper  ends;  two  teeth  on  each  side  of  the  symphysis  of  lower  jaw, 
the  anterior  the  larger  and  near  the  end  compressed,  triangular, 
similar  but  smaller  than  those  of  Ziphius.  Nasals  broad,  flattened  in 
front.  Mesethmoid  partly  ossified.

Type  locality.     Stare  Gavan,  Bering  Island. 

Genl.  Char.  Skull  only  preserved.  "Very  low  and  scarcely  in- 
curved maxillary  crests;  the  shortest  distance  of  which  is  223  times 
greater  than  their  greatest  height.  *  *  *  The  groove  between 
the  maxillary  and  the  nuchal  crest  is  very  shallow.  The  maxillary 
notch  is  deep.  The  beak  is  long,  making  only  little  less  than  half 
the  length  of  the  entire  skull.  Nares  straight;  right  nasal  larger  than 
the  left  one,  but  not  very  much.  The  occipital  condyles  do  not  come 
in  contact  beneath  the  foramen  magnum;  the  symphysis  of  the  lower 
jaw  is  very  short,  amounting  to  only  one-fifth  of  the  whole  length  of 
the  jaw.  Teeth  are  situated  on  the  tip  of  the  lower  jaw." 

Measurements.  "Length  of  skull,  1405;  greatest  breadth,  698; 
length  from  process  of  supramaxillaries  before  orbit  to  posterior  edge 
of  condyles,  610;  from  same  process  to  tip  of  beak,  890;  greatest 
height  of  maxillary  crests,  86;  length  of  lower  jaw,  1292;  length  of 
symphysis,  257.  Total  length  of  animal  about  18  feet."  (Stej-

*  As  there  is  no  positive  date  known  for  Shaw's  plate  (610)  of  the  Mountain  Sheep,  that  of  1803 
being  established  purely  upon  the  supposed  hypothesis  that  the  work  appeared  at  uniformly 
regular  intervals  throughout  the  twenty-four  years  of  its  publication  (and  of  which  there  is  no  proof 
whatever),  there  should  be  no  hesitation  in  accepting  Desmarest's  name  O.  cervina  for  the  species, 
bestowed  without  question  in  1804,  of  which  Shaw's  name  O.  canadcnsis  would  be  a  synonym.  A 
date  that  is  well  established  should  always  have  precedence  over  one  founded  merely  upon  a  sup- 
position.

Genl.  Char.  "Size  large;  skull  and  horns  broad  and  massive; 
molar  teeth  much  larger  than  in  any  known  American  sheep,  the 
upper  tooth  row  in  adult  males  measuring  96  mm.  or  more,  and  the 
three  upper  molars  63-65  mm.  Under  jaw  (in  type  specimen)  mas- 
sive, heavy  posteriorly,  deeply  bellied  (depth  under  last  molar 
52  mm.);  angle  broadly  rounded.  In  canadensis  (cervina),  the  jaw 
is  light  throughout  and  the  angle,  while  small,  is  marked.  Horns 
narrower,  and  as  a  rule  larger  than  in  canadensis  (cervina)."*  (Merr. ,

from  about  latitude  78°  on  the  western  side  northward  to  and  around 
the  northern  end  of  Greenland  to  about  latitude  75°  N.  on  the  east 
coast."  (Allen.) 

Genl.  Char.  Basal  portion  of  horns  narrow.  White  on  face  and 
top  of  head,  and  lighter  legs. 

Color.  Similar  to  O.  moschatus,  but  with  a  white  area  on  the 
front  of  the  head  forming  a  face  spot;  ear  and  patch  below  the  ears 
gray;  between  the  ears  on  top  of  head  whitish;  saddle  mark  of  light 
brown;  rest  of  body  dark  brown. 

(Adult  bulls  have  the  head  and  neck  almost  jet  black ;  visible  portion 
of  legs  whitish,  but  sometimes  marked  with  dark  brown.  The  white 
on  head  seems  very  variable,  for  out  of  seven  specimens  supposed  to 
be  of  this  variety  in  the  Field  Columbian  Museum,  none  have  any 
white  on  the  face  except  the  old  cow.  The  old  bull  has  no  white  at 
all  upon  the  head,  and  the  next  bull,  one  in  his  prime,  has  a  jet 
black  head  and  neck,  with  but  a  little  white  about  the  horn  bases; 

*  Relative  sizes  of  molar  teeth  and  parts  of  crania  are  properly  classed  in  the  majority  of 
cases,  with  those  differences  resulting  simply  from  individual  variation,  and  it  would  seem  unlikely 
that  the  Dakotas  and  Montana,  contiguous  States,  would  each  contain  a  distinct  variety  of  moun- 
tain sheep.  The  greater  depth  and  massiveness  of  lower  jaw  is  apparently  restricted  to  the 
type  specimen.

*  The  name  amertcanus,  Kerr,  retained  in  the  Synopsis,  having  been  bestowed  by  that 
author  on  an  undeterminable  species  four  pages  earlier  in  his  work,  cannot  be  again  employed, 
although  his  Mus  agrarius  americanus  is  undoubtedly  the  same  as  P.  leucopus,  Rafin.  (See  Allen, 
Bull.  Am.  Mus.  Nat.  Hist.,  N.  Y..  1895,  p.  108.  Foot-note.)  P.  leucopus  will  therefore  be  the 
proper  appellation  for  the  white-footed  mouse,  nee  americanus,  Kerr.

*  Three  genera  have  been  employed  for  the  Walrus:  Rosmarus,  applied  to  it  in  the  sixteenth 
century  by  Gcsner,  &c.;  Odobaenus,  Linnaeus  in  1735,  and  Trichechus,  Linnaeus  in  1766.  For 
those  who  take  the  I2th  edition  of  the  Systema  Naturae  as  the  starting  point,  there  is  no  difficulty 
about  a  selection,  for  Trichechus  is  made  to  include  both  Walrus  and  Manatees,  and  as  Manitus 
was  taken  lor  a  genus  ol  Sirenians,  Trichechus  naturally  becomes  the  term  for  the  Walrus.  It  is 
those  who  reject  Linnaeus'  more  matured  and  completed  edition  of  1776,  and  select  that  of  1758  for 
their  starting  point,  that  trouble  begins,  and  they  are  obliged  to  search  for  a  generic  term.  In  the 
loth  edition  Trichechus  includes  the  Manatees,  and  the  Walrus  is  placed  among  the  seals  in  Phoca. 
The  edition  of  1735  offers  Odobaenus,  passing  over,  however,  to  reach  it,  Rosmarus,  employed  for 
the  Walrus,  as  stated,  in  the  sixteenth  century,  and  used  generically  by  Klein  in  1751,  and  Scopoli 
in  1777.  Authors  have  at  various  times  employed  all  of  these  terms,  and  there  has  been  much  dis- 
cussion as  to  which  should  be  preferred,  but  no  agreement  has  been  reached,  and  there  is  not  likely 
to  be  any  until  it  is  finally  decided  and  accepted  generally  which  edition  of  Linnaeus  shall  be  the 
starting  point,  and  how  many  years  previous  to  that  shall  genera  be  recognized,  and  what  authors 
shall  be  authorities  for  them.  At  present  it  would  seem  that  the  advocates  for  the  i2th  edition 
have  the  best  of  the  argument,  for  there  appears  no  doubt  as  to  their  genus  for  the  Walrus.  Mana- 
tus  having  been  eliminated,  aud  as  it  may  be  said  that  probably  the  majority  of  Naturalists  still 
employ  Trichechus,  it  would  seem  more  advisable  to  continue  that  term,  the  one  finally  adopted 
by  Linnaeus  himself,  and  also  the  one  most  familiar  to  all,  than  to  select  either  of  the  others  with 
their  contested  claims.
